Kindergarteners are Jim Pearson’s “new kids” on the block.Some of them entered already computer savvy ; however, many still are not familiar to the computer and computer lab procedures. I will spend several weeks teaching them the basics for operating a computer and navigating a website. They will primarily spend their time in the lab on www.starfall.com.A great literacy site sponsored through the International Reading Association. We will use “Starfall” along with Read Well, the new reading program.As the letters are introduced in Read Well, they will be our guide on the Starfall site. Starfall offers a number of activities that will support your child’s literacy through his or her early childhood years.
Some other sites that your kindergarten student might enjoy are listed below:
